WARNING
Disconnect machinefrom the power source before adjusting or changing vise position! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Adjusting Vise Square to the Blade Position A
1. Place a machinist's square on the bed against the blade and the vise. The square should lie along the entire length of the vise and blade without a gap.
2. If adjustment is necessary, loosen bolts (A, Fig. 5) holding the vise and adjust vise so square lines up properly. Tighten bolts.
3. You may want to perform a test cut. Cut off the end of the stock. Make another cut so that you have an accurate section to measure. Measure thickness with calipers.
Adjusting Vise for Miter Cuts
Position B
1.Move the vise into the second set of threaded holes (B, Fig. 5) by removing hex cap bolts (A, Fig. 5).
2.When angle has been set tighten bolts.
3.Adjust other jaw.
4.There is an angle label on the backside of the bed. This is for reference only. Check angles with a machinist’s protractor.
For your own safety: only use position B for miter cuts. Vise square to the blade, in position B would expose more of the blade, right of the vise, than is necessary for the cut.
Positioning Vise
To position the moveable vise:
1.Pull up on the rack block (C, Fig. 5).
2.Move vise to desired location by sliding along bed.
3.Tighten vise by turning handwheel, found at the left end of the bed, clockwise.
4.Loosen vise by turning handwheel counter- clockwise so you can pull up on the rack block.
